Answer:

  (a)  1024 ways

  (b)  243 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When answers are independent, the total number of ways all questions can be answered is the product of the number of ways each question can be answered.

__

<h3>(a)</h3>

The first question can have one answer 4 ways. The second question can be answered 4 ways for each of the ways the first question was answered. That is, the two questions can be answered 4×4 = 16 ways. Similarly, each additional question multiplies the number of ways the questions can be answered by 4.

The 5 questions can be answered 4×4×4×4×4 = 4^5 = 1024 ways.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

There are 3 ways to answer the first question incorrectly. Each additional question can be answered incorrectly 3 ways for each of the ways previous questions were answered. The total number of ways all questions can be answered incorrectly is ...

  3^5 = 243

A student can answer all questions wrong in 243 different ways.
